I had a pleasant stay at Bahia Principe Grand Bavaro, despite some challenges. The food was a definite highlight, with a wide variety of options at the buffet that changed themes nightly. but I did experience some hiccups during check-in and with room comfort. Overall, it's a nice place for families, with great entertainment for the kids.

The resort is expansive, which made accessing the beach a bit of a trek. but the electric trolleys were a convenient way to get around. Plus, the beach area itself was lovely, with plenty of loungers. Just be ready to reserve your spot early.

My stay at the Bahia Principe Grand Bavaro was a mixed bag. The gardens and beachfront were beautiful, which I absolutely loved. However, the condition of the rooms was quite disappointing and in dire need of a refurbishment. Dining had its highlights with a variety of buffet options, but some of the a la carte restaurants fell short, especially the Indian cuisine. Overall, while I enjoyed certain aspects of my stay, it certainly didn't meet my expectations for a five-star resort.

The resort is spread out nicely, and the beach area is beautiful. although it can get quite crowded. Finding good seating by the pool required an early rise, as the best spots fill up quickly.
